in a long line of days
staring at a dumb screen
Just booring booring
only thing that did happen
it’s the only thing that is
happening that’s the only
thing that will happen
Twitter user Julia (Twitter tag

In particular, it’s from the point of view of a school kid who is too exhausted to stare at a “dumb” computer screen during classes as it feels like that’s all he’s doing these days. It puts into words what many of us, regardless of whether we’re in school, think and feel like, because the pandemic has altered our lives to a degree where social interaction has become borderline inhuman.
